Beef Cattle Research Council open applications for Researcher Mentorship Program

Mar 11, 2021 | 10:14 AM

LETHBRIDGE, AB. — The Beef Cattle Research Council (BCRC) has announced applications are open for the Beef Researcher Mentorship Program.

Last year, six researchers were chosen to take part in the program. Each one was paired with two mentors – an innovative producer and another industry expert.

Each researcher gains valuable experiences through the opportunities provided, including creating partnerships within the industry and with other researchers, meeting industry leaders and touring farms and ranches to see how research is being adopted.

The Beef Researcher Mentorship Program launched in August 2014 to facilitate greater engagement of upcoming and new applied researchers with Canada’s beef industry.

The BCRC is continuing the program and invites applications from upcoming and new applied researchers in Canada whose studies are of value to the beef industry.
